Photo Study Of A Clay-colored Sparrow And Other Feeder Birds At The Koch Property March 7th, 2010

I was able to get to the Koch Property (1375 Raubsville Road, Easton, PA) again yesterday. The Clay-colored Sparrow, showing some molt changes, was still at the Koch's feeders. However, I don't know how long it will hang out before it decides to go  back west. In any event, the bird was very cooperative as were lots of other sparrows, cowbirds, et al. Even a beautiful Sharpie came in a couple of times but fortunately flew out empty-taloned!
